Technology development taking us to?

[playboy654]

Sometimes I wonder where are heading in the future with all these developments on every field,for the better and happier life or just lazy life.Few years back mobiles were used for reaching the people from long distance but today it is everything and almost we are not caring anyone who is even sit next to us while we are using the mobiles.Just talk about it guys,if you have any ideas about where it leads us to.

We get more technologically advanced yet the average person has to work much longer than ever just to survive.  We are going backwards in a lot of ways.

It all depends on the user there are good and bad things on everything that we do or have.
Technology is making our life easy and also making the people lazy because we rely too much on it.
It all depends on us on how are we going to use it,
Don't blame the technology because people are being lazy blame them because they choose to be lazy.

We are getting more debts than what we are earning and that is the reason why we can step up economically and this happens mainly when a person want him to look like a rich person when is not actually so he is spending lot of money for the unnecessary thing which later turns into debts which are supposed to be savings.

The fact that you can play Angry Birds on your cellphone doesn't show us the technology development. You know why? Because there were no groundbreaking scientifical breakthroughs already for decades. Large corporations are providing better technologies but they don't make the same effect on the economy as for example had the invention of the steam engine.
Some bullshit like Snapchat right now worth millions (and sometimes this is really interesting things) but all this stuff have less effect on our lives than the invention of a calculator had before.
Tech development is not taking us anywhere now.

when mobile will be able ro read minds it's gonna be funny , or not .

You are late,its already doing.

For example while you are scrolling facebook feed you will get an advertisement related to a product which you might thinking of buying it today or few days back,how they do?They are taking all the information about us while we are allowing our apps to take control on our devices.

Lazy life is not a valid point. Just see all these years that technological development has come, we are more busy than before lol.
New technological advances brings us an easier life and it let us discover and savor needs that we couldn't do before. Maybe we are using our mobiles more than before, but could you ever think that you can work from your mobile when you are hundreds of km away from your office without any problem?

[Astargath]

''We'' are heading to mars/moon. I say ''we'' because most people remain just as stupid as before, less ignorant by force but still pretty stupid. You would think almost no one would believe in gods in 2019 but nope, most people still do. Thankfully a bunch of people are smart enough to carry the rest of us. This has always been the case, only a few geniuses are needed.

[uneng]

It depends on how you use technology. Some people use it to evolve as individual, to grow as person, in favour of their learnership, while others use for gossip, hostility, bully, envy. The lazy people are already lazy with or without technology, it will just increase their laziness a bit.
Technology is totally positive for the world and for the humanity. It helps the world and people last longer, with more happiness and better solutions for all kinds of problems: in health, education, security, environment, infrastructure, entertainment and more.

As a fan of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, I've heard this topic discussed by various experts from all sorts of different perspectives and fields.

While I won't get into each prediction, there is one in particular that Joe Rogan brings up himself that I find extremely interesting.
Of coarse, this is on a much larger, long term scale, but is entirely possible.

Essentially, technology can be viewed as an extension of human evolution. If you think about it, we as humans have this innate, unexplainable drive or urge to push technology forward. We are never content, and nobody has the answer as to why were are so driven to make more advanced AI, faster computers with better processing power, human-like robots, more efficient genetic testing... etc.

It could very well be that what will emerge from this rapid technological growth is an entire new species, one that does not require humans, and eventually surpass/replace humans. After all... evolution is all about efficiency, and a species will adapt to whatever it takes in order to spread and grow. AI could be this next step in human evolution far down the road, as AI does not require food, does not get sick, does not have do deal with obstacles such as emotions, like sadness or curiosity, greediness or a capacity for evil.

To go even further, it could even be said that we were placed her by AI, programmed to advance and keep advancing until the AI is replicated and can spread.

An amazing point from Rogan about humans never being content. Even when we innovate, that innovation was never enough and then we keep going and keep going and keep going. Think about something as simple as the vacuum cleaner.

I would assume that at first it wasn't too advanced and it didn't have too much suction power and probably only had one button. If you look at a vacuum cleaner now it has many buttons for many different cleanups, it is portable, and so on and so forth. You could even get a Roomba to vacuum for you.

It just shows how far we've come, and how far we're going to go with tech.  At this point the growth is exponential.

Technology makes our life easier, and that makes the world faster, we cannot stop the development as there's still a lot of ideas that has not transform in to reality yet. Bitcoin is the best technology that I know thus far, well, I consider it as technology as it ease the transaction and decentralized makes things transparent. If we want to enjoy, we need to adopt with the changes as no such thing in this world that is permanent, expect change, that's a famous line.

During my elementary days, I've learned the meaning of technology on my subject Science and Technology and in simple terms, "it is to make our lives easier". And it's happening today because of the innovation and technology that was brought to us, we seem to work with computers, gadgets, smart phones, machineries but still it needs manpower.

almost we are not caring anyone who is even sit next to us while we are using the mobiles.

Like when you're in the bus or trains and someone behind, infront and beside you doesn't care standing reading and touching his/her phones while the headsets are on? I don't have problem with those people, I'm minding my own business just like them.

But we are doing the same thing at dinner party or while going to the restaurants with our family but still we are on phone and forget to talk or hear what is happening around us,even I am doing this.

Technologies have different effect on humans individually. today we may be too occupied by the advancement of cellular phone
it may not look good but it is only just a chapter  of our species advancement. it will pass and another chapter will come. in the end it
will lead us to new advancements whether it is for the good or bad. we can only hope that the result will be the best it can be.

I understand if that person has a business and he has to monitor his sales and track the progress through his smartphone. Because there are apps that allows us to do that but if it wasn't like that.

Well, this is a personal problem. As much as possible, I'm telling my siblings to stop using phones while we eat so that we can enjoy our meal. Social media plays big part on this because most of the people that tend to be in that situation are checking recent news feed and posts of whom they are following.

Using social media is addictive as well as a big concern for our security.

We also might tackle the fake ids from facebook and most of the people were using multiple fake ids for ransom and also for cheating girls which is not the entertainment will make good us in the future.

The answer to the topic title is slavery.

If a company doesn't make something that he can sell to the public profitably, how does he make money? He makes it by getting grants and loans from government. And nobody knows if he will ever be able to repay the loans.

Where does the money for the loans come from? Essentially from some form of taxation or theft. Of course, taxation is a form of theft.

So, all the hype about new technology, is really taking us deeper into slavery, except when someone can actually make a profit from the technology by selling it to the people.

The answer to the topic title is slavery.

This is the thing I am intended to say but sadly most of the people is not going to accept that we are losing ourselves in the name of technology development.
